|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board any Nikon shooters using Vivitar battery grip? Sarah Miller, Photographer Tyler | TX | USA | Posted: 10:05 PM on 09.25.11 ->> I know that the nikon MB-D10 battery grip increases the frames per second on the Nikon D700. Does anyone know if the Vivitar grip does the same? I want to get a grip so I can shoot faster with the D700, just wondering if this cheaper one will work.

Unless the third-party products are compatible with the chamber cover that you need to use with the larger battery, it probably won't work.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
